Our Mission & Vision
Who We Are
Kentucky BioScience International was founded in the fall of 2018 by husband and wife team Robert Huttick and Tami Maria O’Dell. The couple’s interest in CBD oil increased after a car accident in which Huttick was injured. Huttick found he could relieve his pain through natural means rather than taking medications. With family in the area, and a state that supports hemp farming, the team decided to base the company in Kentucky. O’Dell serves as President of Kentucky BioScience, and Huttick is the CEO.
